By the numbers The Israeli military, having fought repeatedly with several neighbours for the better part of its existence, is made up of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF, also known by Hebrew acronym Tzahal ), Israel Naval Force (IN) and Israel Air Force (IAF). Service is compulsory for most Jewish and Druze citizens starting at 18 years old. Israel has 176,500 personnel on active service, made up of 133,000 in the army, which includes 107,000 conscripts. The navy has 9,500 sailors on active duty and there are 34,000 in the air force, as well as a total reserve force of 565,000. Iran reprotedly has more than 523,000 personnel on active service, comprising 350,000 in the army, including 220,000 conscripts. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, viewed as the most loyal guardians of the ruling system, has a further 125,000 soldiers. Young Iranian men are obliged to serve 18 months in the military service when they turn 19 years old, and volunteers begin at 18 years old. A paramilitary volunteer militia, the Basij Forces (literally "Mobilisation of the Oppressed", takes members from age 15. Charged with defending the country's borders and maintaining internal order, Iran's military is comprised of the Islamic Republic of Iran Regular Forces (Artesh), which has ground forces, a navy, an air force (IRIAF) and Khatemolanbia Air Defence Headquarters. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Sepah-e Pasdaran-e Enqelab-e Islami ) consists of the Ground Resistance Forces, Navy, Aerospace Force and the Quds Force (special operations). There are 18,000 Iranian naval personnel and 30,000 air force personnel, including 12,000 in air defence. |

The area's were Israel has an advantage over iran, is in the air. Israel has better fighter jets than IRAN and a more experienced/ better trained with a huge number of flight times than the airforce of iran. Israeli mekeva tank is also a world beater. These are the two areas were Israel has an advantage over iran. The persians are also very good, they got a good air-defence system, which is almost entirely indigenous. As we all know, the persians have many brilliant scientists/ physicists in particular. The iranians are also due to reason the russian made S-300 missile defence system. The S-300 is one of the world's best air defence systems. Iran also has a huge huge number of state of the art missile systems. The iranians also operate an up-graded T-72 as their main battle tank (MBT), which is a mean beast on it's own. The truth of the matter is both nations are military very strong and if a conflict were to ensue between the two without any outside help, the war would likely end in a stale mate, with lots of destruction on both sides. |

[size=31pt]Ballistic Missiles in the Iranian Arsenal[/size] The Iranians are pursuing the most intensive missile program in the Third World, with constantly increasing ranges. Iran's missile arsenal begins with the Zalzal unguided rocket and the Fatah 110, an improved Chinese bombardment rocket with a 200 km range and a 200-250 kg warhead, to threaten concentrations of invading armies near its borders. Iran also has the Shahab 1 (Scud B) with a range of 300 km and the Shahab 2 (Scud C) with a range of 500 km. [img]http://luckybogey.files./2010/12/jm_shahab3_bm_baye_1262704z.jpg?w=640&h=426[/img] The Iranian Shahab 3 missile, with a range of 1,300 km, is patterned after the North Korean No Dong missile. The Shahab 3 can threaten either Tel Aviv or Riyadh from the same launch point. The newer Shahab 3ER, with its 2,000 km range, can reach Ankara in Turkey, Alexandria in Egypt, or Sanaa in Yemen from one single launch point deep within Iran. Thus, Iran does not have to move its launchers to project power, making its missile arsenal more survivable. Iran's missiles are not controlled by the military, they are controlled by the Revolutionary Guard, which has its own air force, ground force, and navy, and which reports to Iran's spiritual leader. Iran is investing a lot in mobile launchers, but a few months ago we found a reference for the first time to the possibility of silo-basing. Iran acquired eighteen BM25 land-mobile missiles with launchers from North Korea which can strike any targets in Europe. In the past, the BM25 has been produced in two models: one with a range of 2,500 km and the second with a range of 3,500 km. Obviously, they threaten not just Iran's immediate neighbors, and it seems that the Iranians are looking to project power beyond their own region. Iran is also developing a whole line of big, solid propellant, two-stage ballistic missiles - the Ghader 110. Well-substantiated reports indicate that the Iranians managed to steal and smuggle out of Ukraine several strategic cruise missiles, probably not to be deployed but to be emulated and copied. Thus, we can expect an Iranian cruise missile program too, based on cloning the Russian Kh 55, the Soviet equivalent of the U.S. "Tomahawk." |

Tanks, subs and planes The Israeli army has more than 3,000 tanks, reported to include 441 Merkava MkI, 455 Merkava MkII, 454 Merkava MkIII, 175 Merkava MkIV and 206 Centurion models. The Israeli military also has, according to Reuters, some 10,484 armoured personnel carriers (APCs) and 5,432 artillery pieces, including 620 motorised and 456 towed pieces. Iran's military reportedly has 1,613 tanks, including some 100 locally produced Zulfiqar, about 100 ageing British-made Chieftain Mk3 and Mk5 models obtained before the 1979 revolution, alongside 150 US-made M-60A1s - as well as 480 Soviet-designed T-72 tanks and 540 T-54/T-55 models, according to the Reuters news agency. Tehran also has about 640 APCs, in addition to 8,196 artillery pieces - of which 2,010 are towed and more than 800 are motorised. The Israeli navy has three Dolphin (German-made type 212 variant) tactical submarines - thought to be nuclear-armed in order to give Israel offshore second strike capability - in addition to 57 patrol and coastal combat ships, including three corvettes. Iran, on the other hand, has a significantly larger fleet of naval craft, containing 23 submarines, including 15 tactical subs; three Kilo-class Russian-made Type 877 diesel-electric attack submarines , 12 midget submarines (Iranian-built Ghadir and Nahang shallow-water vessels made for the Gulf) and eight swimmer delivery vehicles. The Iranians also reportedly have more than 100 patrol and coastal combat ships, including six corvettes, 13 patrol craft, four patrol boats, 21 semi-submersible boats and 56 various other patrol vessels. The Israeli Air Force established a reputation for its precision during the 1967 Middle East war, but was heavily criticised in the wake of thousands of civilian deaths in the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon in subsequent decades. It has 460 combat-capable aircraft, with 168 fighters, including 27 Boeing F15A Eagle, seven F15B and 90 F16A Fighting Falcons. The fleet also includes 227 ground attack fighters and 65 attack aircraft, in addition to nine tanker/transport aircraft and 77 other transport aircraft. Israel maintains 81 attack helicopters, including 30 Bell AH-1E/AH-1F Cobra and 30 Boeing AH-64A Apache gunships, as well as 200 transport helicopters. Its air defence capabilities include 48 towed surface-to- air missile launchers (SAM) and 920 guns, as compared with the 279 SAM missiles reportedly held by Iran. Iran's air force is believed to contain some 336 combat- capable aircraft, including 189 fighter aircraft such as 20 US-made F5B jets, 60 F5E Tiger IIs and Russian- made 35 Mig-29A jets. The force is also understoof to have 108 ground attack aircraft, among them both Iranian and Russian-built craft, many of which were reportedly taken from Iraq . The country's 116 transport aircraft were made in China, Netherlands and the US, among other places. The IRIAF also has 30 Bell 214C maritime reconnaissance helicopters. |

Iran’s rapidly Developing Solid Propellant Ballistic Missile Iran has already demonstrated a three stage operation with the solid propellant Ghadr-110/Ashura program 2,000 km range designed is now being produced for deployment which has finally been publicly acknowledged after completing development to replace the liquid propellant Shahab-3B, 3C/Ghadr-1 already deployed. The Shahab-3B, 3C/Ghadr-1 design has a 2,000 km range performance. How advanced the Iranian Ghadr-110/Ashura as compared to the Pakistani Shaheen-2 can be questioned in the sense it utilized the three stage concept in flown flight test configuration verses the near identical two stage Shaheen-2 design approach that Pakistan used. It would appear that Iran chose to choose to use two identical half length solid motors of identical diameter for a second and third stage instead of the Shaheen-2 like first stage one with a sea level nozzle and the second one with an altitude nozzle as the second stage.

Iran Sejjil-2 missile with a range of 2500 Kilometers (can carry a nuclear warhead) Obiagelli: In terms of the sheer numbers of projectiles the range and sophistication, Iran may be the world’s 6th missile power. Counting only those medium range missiles that could hit Israel or U.S. bases in the region, then Iran could easily possess several hundred, and maybe many more. Considering that Iran has been manufacturing the Shahab-3 since 2003 this is probably not an over-estimation. Iranians are excellent scientists. |

question here is will Iran allow the Syrian regime to fall, knowing that a it would be left with hezbolla as its only ally in the region. Note that there's considerable large distance between Israel and Iran for a one on one war hence the use of proxies, is this the case with syria. Why is obama avoiding a full scale attack on Syria |

Iran has enough missiles to level Israel if it wanted to. However the repercussions of such an action would also mean the end of iran. The Israeli defence forces (IDF) would be the first military outside the united states, to own the F-35 fighter jet. The F-35 is a 5 gen. Fighter plane, and is considered in some quarters as the world's most advanced fighter plane ( to others, the F-22 is). Israel has the most potent airforce in the region, whether in sheer numbers or capabilities. That is why the Iranian government is desperate to the get the russian S-300 missile defence system. It is in air defence were they(iranians) have a short fall. They got good systems, they've shot down 3 US drones in recent past, however when you are up against the F-35, being good is not good enough, you need to be best. *many people do not know this, but iran has the 3rd largest jewish population in the region, I.e behind turkey in number 2 and Israel itself in number 1. There are an estimated 300 thousand jews living and working in iran. |

The idea is to have a first (1st) strike capability. It is in this area the israelis dwarf their middle-eastern neighbours. Only egypt comes close to Israelis in offence, with over 250 F-16's, unknown number of mirage 2000 and F-7 interceptors. Israel also has the best air-defence architecture in the middle east and one of the best in the world. They can deploy the following systems 1)Arrow 2 ballistic missile(BM) interceptor 2)Arrow 3 BM interceptor 3)Iron dome air defence system 4)THAAD air defence system The arrow 3, which would soon be operational, would have the ability to take out satellites in space. It has the capability to deal with BM's also at 3000km, with an altitude of over 150km. THAAD air defence system is also designed to deal with 3000km ballistic missiles Pictured below is the iron dome system deployed during the recent isreal- gaza conflict
